Found new companion

[Stinky socks]

A dog!! 

I think it would be a great idea if you could save a dog from wolves or whatnot or from starvation or injury. 

The trips across the wilderness would be so much more enjoyable having a survival buddy! It will be both a challenge, as you now have to feed both mouths, but also the dog can help you hunt rabbits? Not to mention the loneliness no more! 

Another thing is, you could equip/craft a carrying bag for your dog, to help you carry supplies!

Ermm, the other way around..
